Game 74, Gainst the Braves, make up for that 0-4 loss

So the Yankees won this one. Much to talk about.

Joba gets into trouble but not to much, gives up a home run in the fifth. The Yankees bounce back in the sixth after Gardner gets called off at first but was really back safely. The Yankees get 3 with a Cervilli home run and a 2 run single by Rodriguez with two outs. 3-1 after 6. Swisher gets a home run in the seventh to make it 4-1. After Joba gives up 1 more in the seventh, he is taken out for Coke, who gives up 1 on a sacrifice fly. 4-3. But it's ok because the Yankees are awake now.

Interesting play in the eighth. Cano up, bases loaded after a Damon single, Teixeira single, and Rodriguez intentional walk. Cano hits a ground ball, Damon out at home, but the throw from home to first hits Cano in the back. So only one out in the play with Teixeira scoring from second after the mix up. Nick Swisher also hits a ground ball but scores Rodriguez from third.

In the bottom of the eighth Bruney relaces Coke and gives up a run to bring in Rivera. Sweet deal, Rivera gets a strike out to end the inning. In the ninth, after a ground out, Cabrera doubles and goes to third on a wild pitch, but gets called out at home after trying to score on a Jeter ground ball. So two outs, Jeter steals to get to second, Damon hits him home with a single, Teixeira hits him home with a double, Rodriguez walked, Cano walked and Rivera comes up to bat! Basews loaded Rivera batting, second time in his career batting. He gets a hit, but it's caught to end the inning, but it was a solid fly ball. Rivera later ends the game with three straight strike outs.

Joba gets the win, 4-2, and pitched 6.1 innings, gave up 7 hits but only 2 earned runs with zero walks and 5 strike outs. Much better with no walks. Damon was 3-5 scoreing 2 runs with an RBI. Teixeira goes 2-4 scoring 1 run with an RBI. Rivera gets the 4 out save, number 498, with 4 strike outs.
